Love both consoles, I'd go with PS3. Hate the controllers, but the games are immaculate compared to the 360. But if you do get a PS3, I'd recommend a slim or fat boy. The super slim is a fucking jet engine and it doesnt perform nearly as well as the other iterations.

I'm gonna catch so many hands with this comment. But PC or PS5. My guy. I'm sorry, but Xbox is dead. It's just a gimmick at this point. The UI is horrible as usual. it's just Windows 8.1 on a TV. With a few exclusive games. Once PS5s are readily available, that's all anyones gonna buy. Series X's are too easy to pick up as well. Honestly, go with your gut and just go with your first option. The original Xbox was literally just a tower computer with a custom case lmao. And that's all it's ever been. Playstation is all about user experience. The UI reflects that. You'll literally jizz your pants when you turn on a PS5 for the first time. The experience is unmatched. Xbox is all about utility. Nothing wrong with that. But it's really not for gaming anymore. It's just a Netflix hub.
